Watching some hudl highlights EHS QB will be tough to defend since he’s so elusive. Jackets have  defensive speed so it will be interesting to see how this will shake out. QB like that can be dangerous with the RPOs and read options imo. Saw some WR screens that were well blocked. I expect the Cyclones to make plays and I expect the Jacket coaches to adjust and make plays. I expect both teams to have their way at times on both sides of the ball. Neither team can really afford self inflicted mistakes imo.

 

Also......I grew up a Vols fan here in Northern MidTN so .... to Jason Whitten

Great post and this should be a heck of a game.

When was the last time Elizabethton played for a state championship? Not won, but when they played for one? Just curious.

Their 1938 team was the only state football champion that year with a playoff taking the best teams from around the state.In 1969 the TSSAA started with class A,Class AA and Class AAA and the playoffs we have today begain.Someone correct me if I wrong but I think the rest were voted championships except the 1938 season.

noone has named many ehs players from etown got any dont get mad just name them if you can i cant and i read paper every day

Both Hartley's, Stressman, Roberts, Morton, Holly's, Avery to name a few. All have a huge impact on this team.

 

The fact is that young athletes want to be competitive and have a chance to win, Elizabethton gave the county kids the best chance to win, no recruiting needed. Would you rather play for a county school where you are getting put out in the first or second round, or play for a team that has a chance at state?

You are correct, that's the reason DB gets so much flack about their past championships lol

Etown, Only took you 5 days to be able to name 7 players for him. Mtester, thank you for verifying Etown's content accuracy. Let me be the first to welcome you to the T.

Elizabethton does it the right way! People aren't saying they don't! They are saying being able to choose which school you go to (recruit) gives them a signficant advantage over schools that don't like Springfield. ETOWN gonna bring home the gold.

CCAS - 46

Springfield - 14

Being open zoned and using the word "recruit" are 2 different things.  Once again over 90% of schools in TN are open zoned so stop being a cry baby! 

As far as the game goes should be a dandy!  Both teams looking for their 2nd state championship in a long time

It’d be the second for Springfield in 26 years. Championship that is

Sorry they recruit the kids early and tell them they can come to EHS if they pay a small fee. Seems like the team they are playing isn't capable of doing that from their fans. 

 

Yes it does. The more I watch Springfield the more confused I am how they have gotten here! Small, Slow, and Weak! However, well coached, disciplined, and they play hard. Just don't see those three positives outweighing the negatives against this team

We have always been small, but slow and weak is ridiculous, I will be the 1st to say we may not impress on film but we always have speed and quickness, plus we will hit you, it's cool though...
